It’s doesn’t have to be complicated. My easy no fuss, daily mental health care ritual looks like: A quick yoga moment. A 2 min read. A 5 min journal. A 1 min dry brush. Pure eucalyptus oil in the shower and behind the ears post shower. Protein smoothie. Greens. Matcha. More matcha. Getting outside for even 10 min. A few … Read More

Ever wonder why you care so much about what other people think? It turns out you have to care. It’s an evolutionary biological survival system. So the advice “just stop caring about what other people think” might not be possible. But the degree to which we compare can be managed. The answer? Awareness. Mindfulness. Discussion. Social media and marketing make … Read More

December In this season may you find, in the space between darkness and light, the healing you seek. The healing your body and soul needs. Create some quiet, hold tight to the moment of stillness that ushers in the breath of change, of pain, of catharsis. Because change and healing can happen in times of darkness and frost just as … Read More

Brain health? You’ve heard all about mental health. Well, let’s talk about brain health. Because brain health = mental health. Sixty percent of the human brain is made of fat. So make sure you are eating well and fuelling it. And yes, your brain NEEDS carbohydrates too! Go fish oil and omega 3’s. It’s DHA’s for the win. Water is … Read More

Life gets messy. Life gets messy – doesn’t it? With love and loss and life and death. And everything in between. Sadness. Addiction. Depression. Recovery and rising again. None of it comes calm and clear. A million dreams and hopes and just as heavy a dose of reality. Hard times. And sharpe truths. Plans that don’t work out and decisions … Read More

Why do I do this work? Hey, “it’s been a hot minute” as the cool kids say. I’m a 47 mother of two teens. I watch Coronation Street. That by virtue feels “not cool”. But in my mind, I’m soooo cool. If you haven’t guessed, it’s Catherine here from Momentum. Your on the edge, sometimes over the cliff, professional in … Read More

Reclamation & Revolution The reclamation begins as a whisper. A thought so foreign and intangible it floats by, fleeting and quickly escaping. The hunger for it resisted. The hunger for anything resisted. Muted, like every emotion you have felt or are afraid to feel. Stuffed down and filling you but never offering a fullness. It’s that fullness you avoid, anyhow. … Read More

Emotional Processing So what does it mean to process your emotions? Or “emotional processing?” This is said A LOT. I think it’s a term that most of us don’t really understand but we know it would be a good thing intuitively. Like exercise, omega three, flossing, more water…(note to self to do all those things). In short, emotional processing is … Read More
